TUI Aria

Overview

The pool grabs the headlines onboard TUI Aria. And thanks to its retractable roof, you can take a dip all year-round, so you can catch some rays or stay out of the cold. It even doubles up as a restaurant in the evenings, when the floor closes over it and Italian cuisine’s on the cards. Elsewhere onboard, there’s loads more to enjoy, too, including a main restaurant and a roomy lounge bar where the entertainment takes place. There’s plenty of space on the top deck for activities and relaxing, plus, you can look forward to Full Board Plus as standard. This means three meals and drinks at mealtimes are part of your package. And, to top things off, there’s unlimited free Wi-Fi throughout the ship.

Enrichment

Whether you want to book your shore experiences through us or explore our ports of call at your own pace, a TUI River Cruises sailing has the best of both worlds.

Sightsee At Leisure

If exploring at your own pace sounds more your cup of tea, our tickets and attractions experiences are perfect. You can set off on your own and join in with things like food tasting tours, or see the destination on hop-on-and-off buses. If you’d rather just bag yourself a spot in a local café and watch the world go by, that’s great, too – our cruises allow for as much sightseeing as you like.

If you want to find out everything you need to know about the ports we visit, don’t miss our Cruise Experience Manager’s daily port talks. They’ll also tell you about some of the shore experiences available. Also, use the onboard app, Navigate. It’s got port maps on it – perfect for if you want to go off and explore alone.
